Tempe, Arizona – BlueStone portfolio company, GT Medical Technologies, today announced new data from a clinical study of the company’s GammaTile® Therapy in patients with large brain metastases, or tumors that spread to the brain from cancer in another part of the body. Approximately 150,000 – 200,000 people are diagnosed with brain metastases each year in the United States. These data were presented at the Society of Neuro-Oncology 2020 Virtual Conference on Brain Metastases. The study, conducted at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, AZ, found that in patients with recurrent brain metastases who underwent surgery followed by GammaTile, there was a statistically significant improvement in time-to-local disease progression (TTP) compared to the same patients’ prior rounds of treatment. At 12-months, local control for tumors treated with resection plus GammaTile Therapy was 83% for all patients. Tumors that had received no prior radiation achieved 100% local control with GammaTile.
